Dmitry Vydrin: Ukraine won the village, and Putin — "Golden needle" of Russia

Dmitry vydrin, writer, philosopher, political consultant, former deputy of the verkhovna rada of Ukraine, former deputy secretary of the nsdc of Ukraine, advisor of all four ukrainian presidents, from kravchuk to yanukovych. He was for several years predicted the obama victory, and then Trump for the presidential elections in the United States for ten years, predicted the leadership of s. Aksyonov in the crimea. We met Dmitry in the crimean forest, in the house of our mutual friend — the Russian international journalist.

We agreed that our conversation will be more philosophical in nature, that is to say, the analysis of the sensations of the ongoing processes in Ukraine and Russia. In: Dmitry, immediately direct question: we lost to Ukraine?d. V. : there is a temptation to respond to the level at which discussed similar questions and answers on Russian television, on the European, ukrainian. But since we agreed that we work in a unique format — the format of the forest philosophers, dervishes, then i have a feeling that this question is a bit premature.

I remembered the story. Was a famous character. I went to him several times changed the attitude. Vladimir ilyich lenin.

From ardent supporter to ardent opponent, and then again to cautious supporter. There was an attempt to make an opera about lenin, the opera was called "Lenin in 18 year". And opera, as i recall, a resounding failure. Like all historical material is good, competent, counselors are good, we were still living partners of many processes, but opera did not.

Especially not went to the ballet, was an attempt to stage a ballet on this subject. And it turned out that there is some mystical law that says that any story, any process can be understood at different levels of art, science, just understanding — only through some logical period of time. Here the film can be removed after a few years paslay events, you can write a novel a few decades after the events as "War and peace", for example, and opera and ballet to put in a few hundred years after the events took place. It is the law of the genre, it is impossible to cheat.

So the history of relations between states, or nations, or one nation divided from within, apparently, at different levels of penetration into the material to reflect or feed less reliably after some lag time. Need a decade to settle the foam, the residue became solid, in the form of the sand bottom, and a slurry of silt. But we don't live that long. So i can only as the person who is trying to return to its first ancestral profession, of philosophy, maybe try to give advice to the search for self.

But it is unlikely i will be able to formulate a finished, precise, lapidary answer. So, what are my tips. It applies to Russia and Ukraine, it will apply in the near future of Russia and Europe, because i feel large tectonic processes. This will involve Russia and China, because i behold here some tremendous progress in both directions. Russia and america is too, of course.

When you analyze the relationships of the huge tectonic plates, do not attempt to use a momentary, small, unimportant factor. The process will be to gain relief, clarity, when we forget the name of the shamans, which shamans and with the other hand. And when we don't we say that from the Russian side surkov something voodoo, from the ukrainian side, Poroshenko, the chief shaman, the main tambourine, which is called anti-terrorist operation, the president's administration. That's when we forget the names of these people, then, i think, will appear more or less real picture, objective, a lot of explaining.

But a request for this picture, i think it does not exist. God forbid, if we were with you now on tv, for example, the Russian, no matter what channel, we would be immediately kicked out of the studio, then that would say: "Guys, we don't care about your fucking tectonic plates, you better tell me that yesterday Poroshenko said avakov and how it responded in the Kremlin at the level of the head of administration, or at least deputy head of administration, who oversees the ukrainian direction!" i promised some tips on where to look. I'd be looking at the joints of the contradictions of rural and urban class. What happened in Ukraine and in Russia, largely described through the collision of rural and proletarian class.

I like simple viewer, several years away from the screen, but i was interested not that interested in other people — they were interested in some kind of freudian slip leaders, any statements, declarations, promises. I've been looking for some for me sacred things, for which i may be, understand the slice of the conflict, which is not visible to the people for whom the names, appearance, passwords are more important than the sacred signs. For example, i was looking at gloves. Why gloves? because i have not found a unifying explanation of the image than gloves.

I was trying on clothes to compare, but the clothes were with the other side of the same is a post-soviet camouflage. For men gloves — the continuation of the body, the continuation of its functions. And here i noticed that from the ukrainian side, most of the people i saw on tv, were dressed in such vegetable gloves, you know, there are white gloves, on the one hand they thread, and on the other side of the rubber bumps, which are sold mainly to vegetable battles is bulkhead potato breeding, cabbage, etc. And from the Donbass militias, it was a tactical leather gloves.

Which is very convenient for any technology business, you can work with them in the smithy, where it's hot, you close the closed part of the glove, and where the fine work, you work open fingers. It is convenient to use in battles — the finger that pulls the trigger is open and sensitive to trigger, especially if it is set to soft pressing. (editorial: yes, we all Russia tried. )and then when i began watching interviews and with the other hand, all these interviews were attached to the gloves. Ask the ukrainian post: "Boys, yak sya maєte?" they say, "Yes, rotten potato is not delivered!" show the picture — they go through these gloves in the potatoes.

And it is absolutely identical to the genotype of those guys that, unfortunately, brought on the war. And it's identical to their life experience, because life experience was to touch the potatoes. And this is an important, mandatory work, because they will not be sorted in the winter, lost the crop. And in these fabric gloves is to touch the potatoes.

But the Donetsk side, they say — well, that's bad, relatively speaking, ammo is the wrong caliber, or equipment which was on the battlefield, is not recoverable. They have these with your bare fingers probed the cardan shaft, the spark plug and realized that good is not good. So for me the sacredness of this conflict was the confrontation between global agriculture and the global urban world. Few people know what the difference between a small town from the large village.

When in a large village in the central square, or maidan, hang watch, the village becomes a city. Because the city lives by the hour — at 8 a. M. Got up, the first melting or clumping, and the village lives according to the biological laws — well it's time to leave, and you do not want in the winter toilet, which is 30 steps from the house, but the biological clock rings, or cock crow, or a dog fighting with a cat, you already know what time to get up. And here is the clash of rural and urban occurs in the soul of every human, because we are broken: my grandmother lived in the village with my dad grew up in the city, was educated in the city.

I think that this fragmentation of the soul and individual, and collective, and national. I wrote most conceptual article, it was called "Independence — a plan of escape from metropolis. " this article describes the collision of rural and urban archetypes. Some want to be, if not life, tramps on the outskirts of an industrial city, with all the attendant risks, but also charms. Easy available urban girls, urban risks — to hack during my youth telephones, and then probably some atms, it is a separate criminal history.

And rural history — a neighbor steal a goose, or bigger, maybe get a cow or a horse. Different types of thinking of rural crime and urban crime, rural-urban cultural and cultural. Because it is different culture. Therefore, the first global clash i'd be looking at the intersection of the culture that triumphed in Ukraine, and Ukraine defeated a deep rural culture, rural archetypes with rural sacred things.

Two-faced culture — one wants to live by the clock, the other for the cocks. I can't judge what culture will prevail in the world. Vo: what you need to do to win urban culture?d. V. : of course i like city people are rooting for urban culture. I was a logger at bam.

The worst for me was in forty-degree frost to come in forty metres, sorry, the toilet. If someone says that bam dreamed about some of the newspapers, is a lie, there dreamed of a city toilet. Sorry for the toilet level, but i'm a city person, starting from this level down to the access of information to the press, to household cleanliness. I guess i'm spoiled by city, maybe i'm being unfair in his desire the dominance of urban culture, but i have a feeling that the city is a rising branch of evolution.

I would like to see the evolution of not breaking down and going up. So i'm out of town. Vo: what do you think, how long will this confrontation?d. V. : you are talking about first advice — look for the confrontation between city and village. My second tip — look for the type of personality that is produced on the base of production institutions of the city and the village.

Almost all have forgotten the famous position, marx's formula, which no one has refuted that any production generates two types of product. The first product for which it, like, specialized. Here that produces the dairy farm? she is producing milk. But along the way she.

Released after 15 days of arrest Alexei Navalny first went "online", declaring that his power is "not broke" and that he "is ready to ask the authorities uncomfortable questions that the government is to give answers refuse.
